PMC Kids Ride to fight cancer
The fifth annual Lincoln PMC Kids Ride to raise money to fight cancer will be held on Sunday, May 12 starting on the Lincoln School campus at 7:30 a.m. for kids age 2–12. The program engages youth in philanthropy, instills the value of working for the benefit of others, and promotes physical activity. There is a short loop in front of the Brooks gym for the youngest riders on tricycles, bicycles with training wheels, and balance bikes (a parent is required to remain at the loop to supervise and cheer on their rider) and a 2-mile loop around the school center green. The registration fee is $20 ($25 on the day of the event), and entrants must raise a minimum of $30. Over the past four years, Lincoln children have raised over $30,000 for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Click here for more information and to register.
Chamber concert at library next week
There will be an L-S Chamber Concert at the Lincoln Public Library on Thursday, May 9 at 6:30 p.m. Admission is free. Performing groups under the direction of Kyung-Nam Oh include two string quartets, a cello trio, and a string octet, as well as a violin ensemble and flute choir directed by Thomas Grandprey. Works from Schubert, Telemann, Popper, Borodin, and Mendelssohn will be featured. This is a new concert in the L-S music calendar, and organizers hope it becomes a tradition in bringing the students into the communities to share an evening of music with Lincoln and Sudbury residents.
Phone directories are on their way
The new Lincoln phone directories are in the mail this week after being stuffed into envelopes by 17 volunteers. The free directories are compiled and mailed every other to each household in town by the Friends of the Lincoln Library.
